The winding path

Here I am. Uncertain, unsure, undecided. Figuring it out. No one to direct me. No plan in place. Free but scared.

So many paths are in front of me, Winding and twisting, so that I can’t see their destination. I have to choose. But how to know which is the right choice? Take a guess, flip a coin. Take a leap of faith and just jump. Believe there’s something (someone?) guiding me.

Am I really ready? Or am I pretending? Not a simple choice, But such a clear decision. I know what I want. Question is, am I ready to sacrifice to reach the goal. Or am I too comfortable in my safe bubble?

The road stretched in front of me; I’ve made my choice.
